"One of my all-time favorite sunscreens for both face and body is this one from Bondi Sands. I recommend it all the time because it's fragrance-free. It's pretty affordable. It's deeply hydrating. It doesn't burn or sting around the eyes. It's comfortable to wear. It's comfortable to reapply. And it's also moisturizing without being greasy or heavy. It claims to offer 72 hours of hydration. And I believe that it is like a really nice moisturizer."

BEST DRUGSTORE SUNSCREENS FOR THE FACE 😎 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday

"This is very hydrating but not greasy, sticky, or tacky, and it's pretty fast absorbing. It's never caused any blurry vision, burning, or stinging in my eyes, and there's nothing in it that's a common allergen. It's really, really good. This is probably my third or fourth bottle of it, and it's also a great everyday moisturizer."

"My favorite is the Bondi Sands SPF 50 chemical sunscreen, fragrance free. It doesn't have iron oxides or anything, but at least it doesn't claim to protect you from blue light, and it's a lot more affordable."

The BEST BUDGET FRIENDLY SKINCARE PRODUCTS OF 2022

"It's water resistant, no cast, but it actually makes your skin look good, it's moisturizing, it absorbs pretty quickly, and it doesn't leave a greasy sticky residue. They make a body sunscreen and a face sunscreen in this line and I've tried both, they're both fragrance-free with pretty much identical ingredients, [...] so I just go with the non-facial product and use it on my face since it's less expensive per ounce that way."

Vlog: MY BACK-UP PLAN 🤔 SKIN CARE PRODUCT TEXTURES 😍 @DrDrayzday

"I'm wearing the Bondi Sands, it's not all chemical water resistant sunscreen, and I love it. They make one for the face and one for the body and I've used both, and I find the one for the body, or the one that doesn't say face on it, works well on the face too and is less expensive. You get a bigger bottle so it's a better value, and it's pretty comfortable to wear, it's breathable. I don't feel greasy or sticky, I don't even feel like I really have anything on."

"Bondi Sands is a brand I don't see many people talking about beyond that one viral sunscreen they have, which I actually didn't like very much."

"Bondi Sands and L'Oreal Posay sunscreens would be a really good combo actually."

"Bondi Sands SPF 50 is made up of four different UV filters as well as Vitamin E and aloe to soothe it. It is non-greasy, it is fragrance free, it is very lightweight. [...] In terms of innovation from a UV filter standpoint it's not wow or groundbreaking, but it is a very tried and true that doesn't seem to irritate and is fragrance-free."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
